Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Flood Map Changes May Affect Insurance
You might see your property's flood zone, base flood elevation (BFE), base flood depth, or regulatory floodway changed on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Those map changes could affect flood insurance rules and costs for people who live or work in the affected communities.
Communities Must Adopt Flood Rules
If your community is affected, it must adopt or show evidence of floodplain management measures based on the FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Whether your community meets these requirements affects the community's NFIP participation and thus how flood insurance and floodplain rules apply locally.
